The pill, in my opinion and that of my colleagues, is an important
prophylaxis, perhaps the most important, against one of the gravest
sociomedical illnesses extant. That, of course, is unwanted pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood is the greatest boon to poor women and children in
the world. It is also the largest pro-family, pro-life organization in
the United States. Planned Parenthood, through its many public
assistance programs, helps families out of poverty by preventing
unwanted pregnancies, aids women and men in preventing
sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs), and is a leader in helping women
secure the fundamental right of controlling their own reproductive
destinies.

Planned Parenthood: The
Ultimate Anti-Life Organization.

Introduction.

Planned Parenthood, of all the anti-life organizations in the world,
deserves special attention. PP has active branches in more than 70
countries, and tirelessly pushes its detailed anti-life agenda literally
everywhere, from Alaska to Argentina, from Moscow to Mozambique, and
from Boston to Buenos Aires.

PP's minions are uniformly committed to every unethical and immoral
activity imaginable: abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, organized
atheism, incest, pornography, racism, and homosexuality, just to name a
few.

All Planned Parenthood organizers and executives are stamped out of
the same rotten mold. They literally cannot rise in the PP organization
unless they are totally loyal to Margaret Sanger's ultimate goal of
"a race of thoroughbreds."

It is literally impossible to find a Planned Parenthood worker
who is pro-life.

The Quotes Speak for Themselves.

Instead of wasting energy condemning Planned Parenthood, it is more
instructive to allow this hideous organization to speak for itself. The
remainder of this chapter lists just a very few Planned Parenthood
quotes, divided into categories. References are included with each
quote.

These revealing quotes show just how evil Planned Parenthood really
is, and how long it has been deeply involved in the destruction of the
unborn and of society in general. These are not isolated instances; every
Planned Parenthood organization must adhere to these principles.

The following sections give examples of more than one hundred Planned
Parenthood quotes on the following subjects.

An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun. It is
dangerous to your life and health. it may make you sterile, so that
when you want a child you cannot have it ... Birth control merely
postpones the beginning of life.

In the mid-1960's, Planned Parenthood's attitude towards the unborn
changed dramatically from that shown in the above quotes. It
established as a firm goal the increase of abortions in its clinics
from 45,000 per year to 80,000 per year.

Until we reach the millennium when we have a perfect contraceptive,
when every pregnancy is planned and all children are born wanted,
Planned Parenthood will continue to provide not only sex education and
contraception but also abortion.

The only avenue the International Planned Parenthood Federation and
its allies could travel to win the battle for abortion on demand is
through sex education.

Alan Guttmacher, May 3, 1973, quoted in Humanity
Magazine, August/September 1979, page 11, and in ALL About Issues,
December 1979, page 2.

Most professionals and volunteers associated with Planned
Parenthood have accepted, for a long time, the necessity of abortion
as an integral part of any complete or total family planning program.

Parenthood 1969-1972: Assuming an Activist Posture on Behalf of
Legalized Abortion." National Right to Life News, January
31, 1985, page 6.

First as you know, as we celebrate the 100th birthday of Margaret
Sanger, our outrageous and our courageous leader we will probably find
a number of areas in which we may want to find more about Margaret
Sanger than we thought we wanted to know ... we should be very proud
of what we are and what our mission is. It is a very grand mission ...
abortion is only the tip of the iceberg.

Transcript of the address given by Faye
Wattleton, president, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, at its
annual luncheon in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 5, 1979.

... it seems to me that there are clearly increasing concerns out
there that we need to address ourselves to if we ultimately want to
come down with the reality that in spite of all those concerns, in
spite of all those changes in viability, in spite of those capacities
to intercede in fetal developments, that the ultimate choice about
carrying a pregnancy to term can only be made by the woman who is
pregnant, we will lose it [the right to choose].

Alfred Moran, executive Vice President of
Planned Parenthood of New York, at the 1983 National Abortion Federation
annual meeting in Minneapolis. Quoted in National Right to Life News.
"Technical Advances to Make Pro-Abortion Position Tougher."
May 26, 1983, page 12.

Is the fetus alive? Is it alive? Algae is alive, and earthworms,
and your appendix. Mold on the bread in the refrigerator is alive.
People are not agreed on what a life is ... If you look at pictures of
human, chicken, pig, and turtle embryos at the same stage of
development, it is difficult to tell them apart.

Note that the "Let's Tell the Truth" booklet definitively
declares that "mold on the bread in the refrigerator is
alive," then states baldly that nobody knows what life is. Since,
according to Planned Parenthood, mold is alive and the preborn are only
"potential life," mold therefore has a higher status than a
nine-month preborn baby in the eyes of Planned Parenthood.

Curiously, former Planned Parenthood president Faye Wattleton admits
that the preborn are alive in her recent book:

There are many sperm cells in the [seminal] fluid. If one of them
meets an egg cell inside the mother, new life can begin to grow ... If
one of your friends is pregnant, ask her to let your child 'feel the
baby move.' ... A baby grows in a special place inside the mother,
called the uterus not in her stomach. In nine months it is born.

Faye Wattleton, former president of Planned
Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). How to Talk with Your Child
About Sexuality. Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company,
Inc., 1986, 150 pages. A detailed review of this book may be obtained
from Jim Sedlak, Director, Stop Planned Parenthood (STOPP), Post Office
Box 8, LaGrangeville, New York 12540.

In July of 1989, the United States Supreme Court allowed individual
States to slightly limit access to abortions. Faye Wattleton, president
of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, complained that
"This decision leaves abortion to the vagaries of our
residents."[2]

Several months later, Wattleton (who was named Humanist of the Year
by the American Humanist Association in 1986) wrote in The Humanist
that "We need to remove the abortion issue forever from the
legislative arena. We need a universal recognition that our civil
liberties are off-limits to partisan debate!"[3]

In other words, Planned Parenthood doesn't trust either the
legislatures or the people to make up their own minds on issues that PP
wants to declare "off limits." This is a prime indicator of a
totalitarian or Fascist organization.

(2) Planned Parenthood on Forced Abortions and Coercive Population
Control.

The following quotes from Planned Parenthood are especially
frightening when one realizes that the first two already reflect cold
reality and the others recommend forced abortions right here in the
United States!

I predict the possibility that eventually coercion [in population
programs] may become necessary. [Such force may be required] in areas
where the pressure is the greatest, possibly in India and China.

Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, proposed an
"American Baby Code (ABC)," which included the following
articles;

Article 3. A marriage shall in itself give husband and wife only
the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood.

Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, and
no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit for
parenthood.

Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than
one birth.

Margaret Sanger. "The American Baby
Code." The American Weekly, May 27, 1934, pages 3 and 4.
Quoted by Randy Engel during United States Senate hearings entitled
"Declaration of U.S. Policy of Population Stabilization By
Voluntary Means, 1971." Special Subcommittee on Human Resources of
the Committee on Labor & Public Welfare, United States Senate, 92nd
Congress, First Session, on S.J.R. 108, August 5, October 5, 8, and 14,
and November 3, 1971.

Planned Parenthood has also seriously proposed much more recently the
following population control measures for the United States;

• institute a substantial marriage tax;
• provided bonuses for delayed marriage and childbearing;
• require women to work but provide few child care facilities;
• reduce or eliminate all maternity leave or benefits;
• limit or eliminate public financed medical care, scholarships,
housing, loans
and subsidies to families with more than a certain number
of children;
• compulsory abortion of out-of-wedlock pregnancies;
• stock certificate-type permits for children;
• payments to encourage contraception;
• payments to encourage sterilization;
• payments to encourage abortions; and
• compulsory sterilization for those who have had two children.

Memo dated March 11, 1969, entitled
"Examples of Proposed Measures to Reduce U.S. Fertility by
Universality or Selectivity of Impact." From Frederick S. Jaffe,
Vice President of Planned Parenthood/World Population, to Bernard
Berelson.

These two documents, of course, are an outline of the Draconian
population control and one-child policy currently being vigorously
enforced in the People's Republic of China. Refer to Chapter 50,
"Forced Abortions," in order to see the remarkable similarity
between the above documents and what is actually happening elsewhere in
the world. No wonder Planned Parenthood applauds China's inhuman
population control policy it was originally Planned Parenthood's idea!

Keep in mind that the above articles were intended for implementation
in the United States, not in China!

(3) Planned Parenthood on Sex-Selection Abortions.

... once the state of the fetal diagnostic art moves from second to
first trimester, so abortion falls within the menstrual extraction
period. Planned parenthood will increasingly connote planning the sex
as well as the spacing of offspring.

Planned Parenthood spokesman, quoted in Lisa
Andrusko. "A Fact of Life: What Are "Sex-Selection
Abortions?"" National Right to Life News, March 14,
1985, page 3.

(4) Planned Parenthood on Pregnancy.

Unwanted pregnancy is transmitted sexually, is socially and
emotionally pathologic ... and has many other characteristics of the
conventional venereal diseases. The incubation time, defined as the
period between exposure (mid-cycle coitus) and the development of
initial symptoms (usually missed menses), averages approximately two
weeks.

The pill, in my opinion and that of my colleagues, is an important
prophylaxis, perhaps the most important, against one of the gravest
sociomedical illnesses extant. That, of course, is unwanted pregnancy.

We have yet to beat our public health drums for birth control in
the way we beat them for polio vaccine; we are still unable to put
babies in the class of dangerous epidemics, even though that is the
exact truth.

Opponents of oral contraceptives always talk in terms of the
treatment of 'healthy women.' Those of us who have to treat women who
are pregnant with an unwanted baby do not feel that she can be
considered to be healthy.

It's hard work to have a baby! Then two years of slave labor and 16
years of responsibility! You never have a moment's freedom! The
simplest trip to the grocery store has to be planned like a military
campaign! From the moment you decide not to have an abortion, that kid
is going to determine your life!

In early 1966, the present writer attended a conference at which
the Population Crisis Committee was trying to persuade certain groups
within the National Institute of Health to give greater priority to
family planning in their mental health programs. The writer and others
found it somewhat embarrassing to have to confess that there was
little clear evidence that unwanted conceptions were in a worse light
than other conceptions.

I am all for educating the American medical professional. I have
rather dim enthusiasm for attempting to educate the recipients of
therapy. I think the dispenser of the therapy is the person who must
be educated and not the recipient ... Now, I do not think that you are
going to be able to educate the American woman as to what she should
or should not do with regard to the pill. I think you can educate the
American doctor. He is educatable ... My feeling is that when you
attempt to instruct American womanhood in this, which is a pure
medical matter which I am afraid she has not the background to
understand, you are creating in her simply a panic reaction without
much intellectual background.

When interviewed about the rights of husbands to protect their own
preborn children, Louise Tyrer, vice-president of medical affairs at
Planned Parenthood, reacted in a manner typical of the utter callousness
that pro-abortionists show towards any rights other than their own.

But it doesn't matter how much men scream and holler that they are
being left out [of the abortion decision]. There are some things that
they are never going to be able to experience fully. I say, 'tough
luck.'

Quoted in John Leo. "Sharing the Pain
of Abortion." Time Magazine, September 26, 1983, page 78.

(7) Planned Parenthood on Teenage Promiscuity.

We are not going to be an organization promoting celibacy or
chastity.

Faye Wattleton, former president of Planned
Parenthood. Quoted in the Los Angeles Times, October 17, 1986,
Part V, page 1. Also quoted in Judie Brown. "The Wattleton-Sanger
Tradition: Deception." ALL About Issues, May 1988, pages 18
and 19.

Notice the quote below, which is by Louise Tyrer, Planned
Parenthood's assistant director of medical affairs. She is recommending
birth control for girls who have not yet begun to menstruate and in this
country, first menstruation occurs at an average age of 13!

Girls who have not begun to menstruate need to be told they can
become pregnant. Advise using condoms with foam if intercourse is
sporadic or OCs [oral contraceptives] if is occurs regularly ... Oral
contraceptives can be safely prescribed prior to menarche [first
menstruation].

Louise Tyrer, M.D., Vice President for
Medical Affairs for Planned Parenthood. "What Every Teen Should
Know About Contraceptives." Contemporary Pediatrics, October
1989, pages 68 to 82 and 94.

Our alternative solution is to be ready as educators and parents to
help young people obtain sex satisfaction before marriage. By
sanctioning sex before marriage, we will prevent fear and guilt. We
must also relieve those who have them of their fears and guilt
feelings, and we must be ready to provide young boys and girls with
the best contraception measures available so they will have the
necessary means to achieve sexual satisfaction without having to risk
possible pregnancy. We owe this to them.

If, however, you have separated your sex and love needs ... then
you could have a hundred partners and still be a perfect candidate for
a good close relationship later on. So having multiple sexual partners
in itself doesn't mean anything.

Harvey Caplan, M.D., staff clinician at
Planned Parenthood/ World Population of Alameda-San Francisco. Quoted in
The Joy of Birth Control by Stephanie Mills, PPFA board member.

Premarital intercourse does have its definite values as a training
ground for marriage or some other committed relationship ... to make
everyday comparisons again, it's like taking a car out for a test run
before you buy it.

Wardell Pomeroy, Ph.D. Boys and Sex.
Delacorte Press, New York, 1981. Page 117. This book is used in numerous
public school systems in the United States.

Do you want a convenient warm body? Buy one. That's right. There
are women who have freely chosen that business; buy one. Do you want a
virgin to marry? Buy one. There are girls in that business, too.
Marriage is the price you'll pay, and you'll get the virgin. Very
temporarily.

No religious views, no moral standards, are to deflect the child
from the overriding purposes of self-discovery, self-assertion, and
self-gratification.

Planned Parenthood Sex Education and Mental
Health Report, 1979.

Sex is too important to glop it up with sentiment. If you feel
sexy, for heaven's sake, admit it to yourself. If the feeling and the
tension bother you, you can masturbate.

Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood pamphlet,
"The Perils of Puberty."

According to Planned Parenthood, of all the health care services
that teens may require, the four services most needed are abortion,
contraception, treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and
obstetric care. In fact, Planned Parenthood asserts that ten-year olds
have the right to contraception, sterilization, and abortion without
their parents' knowledge!

Masturbation is a natural and harmless expression of sexuality ...
Even many church groups have modified their stand, seeing it more as a
healthy, normal release of sexual tension than as the sinful,
unnatural act it was once considered to be.

Our advice, the first time you see a small child fondling himself,
is to take this teachable moment and try to get across the message
that masturbating is something practically everyone does because it
feels good, that there's nothing wrong with it, that it's okay with
you (if it is), but that it is something to be done in private.

Adolescent boys and girls would both welcome reassurance from their
parents people whose values they trust that solitary sexual activity
is okay. They would be even more relieved to hear that it actually has
undeniable benefits.

Many boys, at some point in their development, make it a group
event with one or more [other] boys.

Discussing contraception which is vitally important, we stress
again does not mean and is seldom interpreted by teenagers to mean
that you have given permission for them to have intercourse.

[You must say] "We hope very much that you won't get sexually
involved until you're mature enough to handle it, but if you ever
decide to, please use one of the kinds of birth control we told you
about." Once this has been said, teenagers know they need not be
afraid that buying or using contraceptives is going to bring on
parental wrath.

If parents do not want their children to become pregnant or to make
someone pregnant while they are teenagers, they must give them
information about contraception and, by so doing, give them permission
to use it when they have sex.

Let's assume that Freddy and Imogene are involved and they have
talked about family planning and they're out at Waller Park and it's
10:30 at night and they've got about half their clothes off and they
are sexually aroused and stimulated, and is Imogene going to say,
"Freddy let's get our family planning. Let's drive back and we'll
get my diaphragm and come back to Waller Park?" Is that ironic?

Talk given to a freshman-sophomore health
class on January 7, 1983, at Righetti High School, Santa Maria,
California, by Robert Webber, Director of Santa Barbara North County
Planned Parenthood.

There are certain things that you do not want to talk about to your
parents. There are certain things they don't want to talk about to
you. The only thing you owe anyone is courtesy. You don't owe anyone
'love.' If you think your parents are great, that's wonderful. If you
don't get along, that's too bad but it's no lifetime tragedy. How you
feel about them isn't nearly as important as how you feel about
yourself. And if you start thinking and talking about them all the
time, you may find yourself still doing it at age fifty with no one
listening.

Why, if they have acknowledged the ineffectiveness of sex education
and contraception for teenagers (see below), does Planned Parenthood
continue to advocate teenage promiscuity? There is a very logical and
fundamental reason for this advocacy: Self-perpetuation. According to
their Annual Service Reports, Planned Parenthood has performed
more than 1,100,000 abortions since 1970 and these abortions, performed
in their 55 abortion clinics, have hauled in more than a quarter of a
billion dollars of revenue!

The above quotes are typical of the value-free garbage Planned
Parenthood forces onto your teenagers. They are smart enough to know it
is garbage, and they also know it is wrong. Perhaps the most compelling
evidence of this is that Planned Parenthood's president, Faye Wattleton,
would not dare send her own precious daughter into the morass that she
herself has been instrumental in creating; "My daughter is ten, and
like other ten-year olds, she has got the world on a string. My solace
in confronting her sexual maturation is the knowledge that she attends
an all-girl school, and that's exactly where I intend to keep her for as
long as I can."[4]

(8) Planned Parenthood on the Ineffectiveness of Sex Education and
Contraception.

Too many of us are focused upon stopping teenage sexual activity
rather than stopping teenage pregnancy ... Sexuality education must be
a fundamental part of the school curricula from kindergarten through
twelfth grade in every school district in the country ... Easier
access to contraception must be another priority access without any
barriers. We must establish many more school-based health clinics that
provide contraceptives as part of general health care.

In early 1966, the present writer attended a conference at which
the Population Crisis Committee was trying to persuade certain groups
within the National Institute of Health to give greater priority to
family planning in their mental health programs. The writer and others
found it somewhat embarrassing to have to confess that there was
little clear evidence that unwanted conceptions were in a worse light
than other conceptions.

The number of abortions per 100 pregnancies experienced, and the
percentages of total reproductive wastage due to induced abortion, are
from three to four times greater, generally speaking, among
contraceptors than among non-contraceptors ... The results are based
upon the women's own admission of the extent to which they have
resorted to induced abortion. They probably understate the true facts.

Raymond Pearl, M.D., The Natural History
of Population. Oxford University Press: London and New York. 1939,
pages 222, 240, and 241. Dr. Pearl was a member of Planned Parenthood in
the 1930s, and used as the basis of his above quote information
collected from 31,949 women who had delivered in the obstetrical wards
of 139 hospitals.

At the risk of being repetitious, I would remind the group that we
have found the highest frequency of induced abortions in the group
which, in general, most frequently uses contraception.

Famous sex researcher Dr. Alfred E. Kinsey,
at the April 1955 Conference on Induced Abortion, sponsored by PPFA.

It was recognized by conference participants that no scientific
evidence has been developed to support the claim that the increased
availability of contraceptive services will clearly result in a
decreased illegal abortion rate.

Concluding statement signed by the leading
sex researchers of the day at the April 1955 Conference on Induced
Abortion, sponsored by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Cosigners included Alan Guttmacher, M.D.; Alfred E. Kinsey, M.D.;
Christopher Tietze, M.D.; John Rock, M.D.; and Abraham Stone, M.D.

Evidence of rising abortion rates with the expanding use of
contraceptives is now available for Korea, India, Taiwan, Iran,
Turkey, Egypt, and some parts of Latin America.

I have known cases of farm boys who have had a loving sexual
relationship with an animal and who felt good about their behavior
until they got to college, where they learned for the first time that
what they had done was 'abnormal.' Then they were upset.

(12) Planned Parenthood on Homosexuality.

Note that, in the first quote shown below, Planned Parenthood
acknowledges that sodomites are not "born that way,"
but instead choose to live their particular perverted deathstyle.

Most people are heterosexual. Some people choose to be homosexual
or bisexual. A few adults choose not to have sexual relations, which
is okay, too. We have no right to condemn a person because of his or
her sexual preferences. Letting yourself be bothered by fear of
homosexuality in yourself or others is irrational ...

A lot of people wonder about oral and anal sex (mouth to penis,
vagina or anus; or penis to anus). Some say that such acts are
perverse or degrading. Other people consider them to be a normal part
of foreplay, or a substitute for intercourse. We say, no one has the
right to condemn a person on the basis of that person's manner of
sexual expression.

The chances are we all have homosexual or lesbian relatives,
friends, or acquaintances ... The most positive approach to this
subject is to remember that same-sex relationships may be equal to
heterosexual relationships in their capacity for loving and caring.

Girls and boys need especially to be reassured that sexual play
with a friend of one's own gender is fairly common and that it is not
an indication of future, adult homosexuality.

Most sex educators would tell kids that oral sex is a form of
sexual expression which many people find pleasurable and many others
find unthinkable. Sexual behavior that is mutually agreed upon and
harmful to neither partner is not considered a perversion.

(13) Planned Parenthood On Racist Eugenics.

No one can really interpret what Sanger meant because she's dead.

Faye Wattleton, former president of Planned
Parenthood. Quoted in the New York City Tribune, February 23,
1988, page 1. Also quoted in Judie Brown. "The Wattleton-Sanger
Tradition: Deception." ALL About Issues, May 1988, pages 18
and 19.

Eugenics" is defined by the Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary as "A science that deals with the improvement (as
by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or
breed.

This so-called "science" has been discredited in large part
because eugenics theory was the foundation of the Nazi extermination
program in World War II.

Margaret Sanger, founder of the American Birth Control League (later
Planned Parenthood) was an avowed eugenicist whose principles have never
been disavowed by any latter-day Planned Parenthood spokesperson. Many
of her views and quotes supporting racist eugenics are listed and
described in Chapter 68.

In fact, Sanger's grandson, Alexander C. Sanger, became President and
Chief Executive Officer of Planned Parenthood of New York City in
January of 1991. This organization has a budget of $18 million a year
and 250 workers. Sanger boasted that

I intend to be out on the front lines of our issues. That is why
I'm here ... Right now, we have three clinics in this city and I want
ten more. We currently have a small storefront office in central
Harlem, and it is my first priority to see if we can transform that
into a clinic ... With all her success, my grandmother left some
unfinished business, and I intend to finish it.[5]

Seeing how his grandmother desired to "exterminate the Black
race," a clinic in Harlem would be a great way to "finish
it."

And, of course, the former president of the Planned Parenthood
Federation of America, Faye Wattleton, has said that "I believe
Margaret Sanger would have been proud of us today if she had seen the
directions that we have most recently in this organization
taken."[6]

Keep this avid support in mind when reading the following quotes.

Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying
... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ...
[Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of
the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate
fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must
agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming
to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the
race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree
dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates
of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who
never should have been born at all.

Margaret Sanger. The Pivot of
Civilization. 1922. Chapter on "The Cruelty of Charity,"
pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore College Library edition.

In passing, we should here recognize the difficulties presented by
the idea of 'fit' and 'unfit.' Who is to decide this question? The
grosser, the more obvious, the undeniably feeble-minded should,
indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their
kind. But among the writings of the representative Eugenists [sic],
one cannot ignore the distinct middle-class bias that prevails.

The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless
ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose
religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their
numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of
the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of
society for their support. There is no doubt in the minds of all
thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped.

Margaret Sanger. Speech quoted in Birth
Control: What It Is, How It Works, What It Will Do. The Proceedings of
the First American Birth Control Conference. Held at the Hotel
Plaza, New York City, November 11-12, 1921. Published by the Birth
Control Review, Gothic Press, pages 172 and 174.

Today eugenics is suggested by the most diverse minds as the most
adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and
social problems.

I think you must agree ... that the campaign for birth control is
not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the
final aims of eugenics ... Birth control propaganda is thus the
entering wedge for the eugenic educator.

As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the
unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,'
admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be
rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these
two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the
fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the
poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation.

On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and
discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically
defective.

Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of
Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October
1921, page 5.

There is only one reply to a request for a higher birthrate among
the intelligent, and that is to ask the government to first take the
burden of the insane and feeble-minded from your back. [Mandatory]
sterilization for these is the answer.

Margaret Sanger, October 1926 Birth
Control Review.

Give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population
their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization.

Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent
multiplication of this bad stock.

Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control
Review.

We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with
social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most
successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious
appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate
the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten
out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious
members.

Sanger's letter was in response to a memorandum by Dr. Gamble that
stated, in part; "There is a great danger that we will fail because
the Negroes think it a plan for extermination. Hence let's appear to let
the colored run it as we appeared to let the South do the conference at
Atlanta."

I cannot overemphasize the importance of utilizing Negro
professionals, fully integrated into the staff of this organization.
This key professional worker could interpret the program and the
objectives to them in the normal course of day to day contacts; could
break down fallacious attitudes and beliefs and elements of distrust;
could inspire the confidence of the group; and would not be suspected
of the intent to eliminate the race.

Sanger's credo of women's rights: "to
live ... to love ... to be lazy ... to be an unmarried mother ... to
create ... to destroy."

The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social
order.

The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant
members is to kill it.

Even Marxist theorists, though apparently blind in other areas,
recognize the obviously racist nature of the programs promulgated by
Planned Parenthood and the other population controllers;

The not-so-concealed theme of some major figures in NARAL [National
Abortion Rights Action League] and NOW [National Organization for
Women] was that abortion should be legal because the most prolific
breeders were welfare mothers from the dangerous classes ... the
leader of NARAL in New York lobbied against the provisions to protect
poor minority women from involuntary sterilization, and so did Planned
Parenthood.

Myth If you're very careful about rhythm, it always works.
Fact Tell that to a Catholic mother of ten kids."

Planned Parenthood advertisement placed in
the Dallas Observer, January 30, 1986, entitled "Since Your
Parents Are Afraid to Talk to You and Your School's Hands Are Probably
Tied, Here's Some Hard Facts." Also quoted in ALL About Issues,

On the back cover of a comic book promoted by Planned Parenthood and
entitled "Abortion Eve" was a caricature of a pregnant Virgin
Mary with an idiot Alfred E. Neuman face, saying "What, me
worry?"

In a 'bigot pack' of cartoons given to college newspapers, one
drawing showed a Catholic bishop, holding a can of gasoline and some
matches, saying, "now we're losing the flock on the subject of
abortion but we're not worried we've got the faithful out burning down
the clinics."

"ecause some people, some religious and semi-religious groups
dominated by elderly men, simply cannot deal rationally with sex. They
can't talk about it rationally, can't think about it rationally, and
above all, can't give up the power which controlling other people
gives them. They control other people through sex.

Those old guys that make the rules, they never raised any kids. You
can't let them boss you around when you got problems they don't know
nothing about! ... I've been confessin' and confessin' and all it does
is get me Hail Marys and more kids ...

woman, ridiculing the Catholic Church in "Abortion Eve," a
1973 comic book by Chin Lyvely and Joyce Sutton, promoted by Planned
Parenthood, pages 3 and 16.

One Planned Parenthood poster, distributed in Latin America, shows a
Catholic woman praying to the Virgin Mary. The caption reads, "O
Mary, who conceived without sin, help me to sin without
conceiving."

Planned Parenthood showed its utter contempt for religion in general
and Catholics in particular when it bitterly condemned a proven and
effective sex education program, Coleen Kelly Mast's Sex Respect,
as shown below.

The [Sex Respect] program is inappropriate because it is a text
with a religious point of view. A major portion of the references are
from authors, organizations or publishers with specific religious
agendas:

Planned Parenthood leaders constantly whine about the
'unconstitutionality' of various pro-life actions, and is especially
fond of condemning such unlawful acts as rescue missions and the burning
of abortion mills. This must mean that PP respects the law, right?

Guess again ...

We will disobey laws requiring notification to parents of minors
receiving contraceptive drugs or devices.

Faye Wattleton, Director, Planned Parenthood
Federation of America. The Human Right to Family Planning, 1984.

Family Planning Associates [the 180 United States Planned
Parenthood affiliates] and other nongovernmental associations should
not use the absence of law or the existence of an unfavorable law as
an excuse for inaction; action outside the law, or even in violation
of it, is part of the process of stimulating change.

It goes without saying that Planned Parenthood affiliates have long
been involved in programs of abortion information counseling and
referral [before abortion was legal]. Before the recent change in
abortion laws, these activities were necessarily unpublicized ...

There are some laws that can and should be broken ... restrictive
abortion laws ... are as obsolete and irrelevant to the contemporary
world as the New York State statute which makes it a crime to have a

Mother Teresa is revered all over the world for her tremendous
efforts on behalf of the most helpless and downtrodden of the earth's
citizens lepers, discarded children, the destitute dying, and AIDS
patients. She and her Sisters have saved thousands of lives.

The following Planned Parenthood quote demonstrates the utter and
complete contempt shown by Planned Parenthood to anyone who does
not accept their warped world view, and just how inverted their picture
of reality has become.

This very successful old and withered person, who doesn't look in
the least like a woman, especially when she raises her clenched fists
in prayer, and who, for us, is a very suspect holder of the Nobel
Prize ... has become for us the symbol of all that is bad in
motherhood and womanhood an image with which we do not wish to be
associated. Mother Teresa is the perfect image of a sexless, religious
woman. This is, however, not the image of womanhood that we want. Show
us instead the mother or daughter who can take delight in the most
enjoyable of all worldly pleasures, sexual intimacy. You, you
nightmare of women! You unliberated, enslaved wives, mothers, nuns and
aunts, what do you want from us, who have finally decided that we are
going to take control of our bodies, our children, and our destiny
into our own hands? Do you not realize that you are all merely puppets
of the devil?

Nightmares." Sexualpedagogik, the official monthly

(17) Planned Parenthood on Those Who Disagree With Them.

As you can see from the above quotes, Planned Parenthood is very
proud of its open-mindedness, and bitterly criticizes anyone who dares
to condemn anyone else. Does this mean that PP is similarly open-minded
towards those who disagree with it? Read on ...

In every generation there exists a group of people so filled with
bigotry and self-righteousness that they will resort to any means even
violence to impose their views on society. Today, such fanatics
dominate a movement ironically called 'the Right-to-Life,' a movement
which threatens the most basic of human rights.

In 1985 and 1986, Planned Parenthood spent more than a million
dollars on hysterical, hate-filled full-page ads in major magazines and
newspapers throughout the country. A full-page ad in the December 19,
1985 New York Times shows a pair of Nazi jackboots and shrieks:

TODAY THE CLINICS.
TOMORROW THE CHURCHES!

Another full-page ad shows a professional woman saying,

WITHOUT ABORTION, NONE OF MY OTHER RIGHTS WOULD BE POSSIBLE!"

In these ads, anyone who dares oppose them are called "dangerous
fanatics" who seek to "destroy the Constitution",
"attack pregnant women," "destroy your freedom to
worship," and "force their narrow views on everyone."

So much for the self-proclaimed Planned Parenthood attitude of
nonjudgmentalism and tolerance!

[Children at our office] are both a nuisance and a safety/liability
risk. Children will not be allowed in any patient service area, and
they may not be left unattended in the waiting room. If a client
arrives with a child or children but without a caretaker, her
appointment will be rescheduled.

For obvious public relations reasons, we will not be posting the
policy, but we need to translate it into a message that can be given
to patients when making an appointment over the phone.

Syracuse Planned Parenthood memo, described
in "PP: Kids Are a Nuisance." People Concerned for the Unborn
Child Newsletter, July-August 1992, page 5.

Babies are not sweet little things. They wet and dirty themselves,
they get sick, they're very expensive to take care of.

America (PPFA), at PPFA's annual luncheon in St. Louis, on May 2, 1979.
